I've been using Dropbox since it showed up in a xkcd comic (maybe a decade ago? I'm not proud) and I've pretty much settled for using it as a ebook library and glorified accordion file for things I might need on the go. As of two days ago I can't access the files I have "saved offline" anymore with my ereader, which means the app has lost a good 80% of its functionality for me. I suppose I could "export" each book individually but I'd have to recreate my file system by hand, at which point I'd be better off just keeping my library on a USB stick like some kind of sad 70 year old who doesn't know how the gigabites work.
